CHAPTER THIRTEEN

GRAHAM

“Why did you save me?” I asked her without even giving her time to think or process the fact that I was alive and well, simply because I wanted to see her raw reaction to me and my question.

I looked at her closely, careful not to miss anything. At first, she looked scared, then when she saw me, she was shocked. But then, I saw a look of relief on her face, like she was happy that I was alive and when she heard my question, she panicked.

She made me so confused and I’d give anything in the world to know what was going on in her head and what she was thinking.

For some reason that I couldn’t understand, I was so curious about her. I wanted to know everything about her.

“You’re alive!” She said, blatantly igboring my question. I stared at her and she unlike what I had expected, she didn’t look shocked or disappointed that I was alive, instead, she looked genuinely happy about it, and I couldn’t understand why.

Why was she so happy about it? Shouldn’t she hate me?

    CHAPTER FOURTEENZOEY“Why were you there in the first place?” Alpha Graham asked me, and he looked like he would swallow me whole if I didn’t give him a reasonable answer.I swallowed nervously as I thought about the response to give him. How was I supposed to tell him that my wolf, Frankie, wanted to go for a run and so, I shifted so she could do that.How would he believe me if when he asks me to shift into the wolf form who wanted to go on a run and I’ll end of disappointing him since Frankie will always leave me alone whenever I needed her the most.Thinking back at Frankie’s behavior, I can’t help but wonder if she’s purposely hiding herself from Alpha Graham, because come to think about it, she only replies me whenever he’s out of sight.“I— I,” “You what?!” Alpha Graham yelled at me and his loud, authoritative voice made me flinch.“Please take it slow, Graham. Let’s not pressure her,” Beta Ronald chimed in softly, “Remember, she risked her life and betrayed her person just t

    CHAPTER FIFTEENZOEYI watched as Alpha Graham contemplated over my words and he wondered if it was the best option to let me stay or kill me. As expected, he called Beta Ronald aside, and the spoke quietly in the corner for a while, and then finally, he came to me.“I still don’t trust you,” he said seriously, and I expected that because I knew it wouldn’t be easy to get him on my side since he hated vampires in general, “but…” he continued, “you saved my life and you’re helpful to my mother”I forced myself not to smile as I had the feeling that he bought my lie and would let me stay, “I’ll never go against you, Alpha,” I said and lowered my head in submission, and that was enough to fully convince him.A vampire never acknowledged an Alpha. It had never happened and he probably didn’t think it would happen soon because way his eyes widened in shock, before he composed himself and cleared his throat gave him away.Narcissist! All werewolves were, especially the Alphas and that was t

    CHAPTER SIXTEENZOEYThe next day, a different guard came to call me that Alpha Graham was calling for me. I wondered why he could be looking for me so early in the morning but regardless, I followed the guard to the training area.To my surprise, it wasn’t only the guards who were training, there were many other pack members training like it was a normal routine. It was as though Alpha Graham wanted the members of his pack to be strong and able to protect themselves when the need arose.I unconsciously glanced around, looking for Ronald but I couldn’t find him so I walked towards Alpha Graham who was lifting a dumbbell.“You sent for me, Alpha,” I said and I noticed how his jaw ticked, then he let the dumbbell fall of his arms.“If you want to stay in this pack, then you have to act like others.” He said while wiping his hands with a towel and then he finally looked up to meet my eyes, “it’s time for training, why were you inside?His intense gaze took me off guard and I unconsciousl

I had a lot on my mind, but at the same time, I refused to think about anything because I didn’t want to mess with my mind.I heard the door open and close, and the sound of footsteps approached me. I didn’t need to turn back to know that it was Ronald. He stood by my desk behind me and just watched me. “Any update?” I asked after a moment of silence.“Not really,” he replied, “I have a feeling that they’re just laying low at the moment, and they’ve not attacked since the last time, so they might just be giving up.” He said.“What if they’re planning something big?” I asked, still facing the window, “What if they want to take us unaware?”“It could be.” Ronald replied.“We have to be prepared in case they attack again. We can’t keep putting the lives of our pack members at risk. If there’s another attack, they’ll panic and raise the alarm.” I said seriously. My pack membe

I had to come up with a plan to leave before they’d find it out on their own.After sitting with the Luna, I decided to take a walk around the pack since I was lonely and had no one to talk to.While I was strolling, I noticed how the pack members reacted to me and as much as I tried to ignore them and keep a blind eye just like Ronald had told me, I couldn’t because they were staring at me with pure disgust and hatred.They didn’t even try to hide it and whenever I passed by a child, his mother would hide him behind her back and say something like, “Come here, before the bloodsucker will get to you.”I wasn’t even a vampire but the segregation and disgust hurt me so badly that I contemplated g

    CHAPTER NINETEEN ZOEY“After all, she’s the Alpha’s girl,” Lily said and for some reason, that sentence echoed in my head like a broken record and no matter how hard I tried to brush it off, I kept thinking about it.“Why do you mean she's the Alpha’s girl? Is she his mate?” I couldn’t hold back my curiosity. If she was Graham’s mate, then she’d have made it clear, but instead, she said she’s his girl.“Uhm, not yet,” she said, further adding to my confusion.“I don’t understand what you mean.” I told her plainly.“Well, Alpha Graham doesn’t have a mate. He’s yet to find her, and to be honest, I don’t think he will due to some certain things,” she said, and I didn’t bother to interrupt her or ask any questions, I just let her continue.“Nicole is the closest she-wolf to him. They were childhood friends and they grew up together. Nicole is yet to find her mate, and so is he. So they’re together now, just like fated mates.” She explained and I began to put the pieces together.“So does

Even now, as I sat on my bed, the hairs on my skin rose and I shivered in fear.A knock on the door pulled me back to reality and then the door was slowly pushed open like the person on the other side was hesitating, but finally, it was pushed open and a maid stood there.I noticed how she wrapped her arms around her body and shivered in fear like I was going to eat her whole. Her behavior annoyed me so much that I couldn’t help but scoff and roll my eyes. “What do you want?” I asked with a frown and even the sound of my voice made her flinch.“A..Alpha G..Graham is calling for you.” She stuttered but thankfully, she was able to get the words out.I sighed and stood up, wondering why he was calling for me.

What did he mean by scrub?“Uhm, I don’t think I understand what you meant, Alpha,” I said quietly.He was quiet for a while before he sighed loudly like my question irritated him and then he looked up at me. “The pack members are complaining to me that you’re useless.”I stared at him in disbelief as I thought of what to say. They were lying to him and he believed them. Now he was telling me to scrub?“That’s a lie. I’m not useless.” I raised my chin in defiance as I defended myself.“Then tell me…” he placed his elbow on his desk and rested his head on his hand, “…how are you useful in this pack?”I racked my brain as I thought of a good response, and fortunately it clicked. “Well, I’m helping with your mother’s recovery, am I not?”I could swear that I saw his lips curve up in a smile but it disappeared as quickly as it came. “That’s not for them to know.” He said calmly, “Now, you have to work ha

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Shouldn’t have kissed her

    GRAHAMThe fire in the fireplace had burned low, leaving the office in a soft atmosphere. I leaned back in my chair, fingers under my chin, staring at the dying fire. The taste of Zoey still lingered on my lips—sweet, warm, intoxicating. I shouldn’t have kissed her. No. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was that I wanted to do it again. A growl tore from my throat, raw and frustrated. My wolf snarled in my chest, restless, torn between two instincts—one that howled for my mate, Frankie, and another that burned for Zoey’s fire, her defiance, the way she looked at me like I was both the storm and the shelter. This is wrong. But it didn’t feel wrong. And that terrified me. I squeezed my eyes shut, dragging a hand down my face. The bond between mates was sacred. Unbreakable. So why did my pulse race for someone else? Why did my blood heat at the memory of Zoey’s fingers tangled in my shirt, pulling me closer like she never wanted to let go? A whisper of presence brush

    GRAHAMThe Pack House was in its usual state of controlled chaos when we arrived. Warriors lounged in the common area, some sparring, others nursing drinks. A few pups darted between legs, yipping excitedly, while the elders watched from their usual spots near the fireplace, shaking their heads at the younger generation’s antics. And then there was Roland. Leaning against the doorway like he’d been waiting for us (which, knowing him, he had), my Beta raised a brow as Zoey stepped inside behind me. His gaze flicked to the bruise on her temple, the hospital bracelet still stubbornly clinging to her wrist. “Zoey,” he said, voice carefully neutral. “You okay?” Zoey’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, now you care?” Roland blinked. “What?” “Don’t play dumb,” she snapped, jabbing a finger at him. “You snitched.” I crossed my arms, watching the exchange with mild amusement. Roland had always been terrible at lying under pressure. “I didn’t—” “You told him,” Zoey accused, jerking a thumb

  • The Mate She Can’t See   Stuck with me

    GRAHAMThe scent of pine and wildflowers still clung to the air inside my Jeep, even after she’d vanished into the trees. Frankie. My mate. My wolf had been restless for weeks, aching for even a glimpse of her, and today—today she’d been *close.* Not close enough to touch, not close enough to speak to, but close enough that my lungs burned with the memory of her. I exhaled, leaning back against the seat, my fingers tapping against the leather seat. The pack warriors were spread out nearby, waiting for my signal to move. But for now, I just wanted to savor this—the quiet, the lingering trace of her, the way my pulse had finally slowed for the first time in months. Then— Knock. Knock. Knock. I turned my head, and my breath caught. Zoey. Her hair was piled messily on top of her head, loose strands framing her face. A hospital bracelet dangled from her wrist, and there was a faint bruise blooming along her temple. She looked exhausted. She looked alive.I rolled down the window

  • The Mate She Can’t See   A hit and run!

    ZOEYI stepped out of the café, the door swinging shut behind me with a satisfying click. The air outside was crisp, fresh—unlike the suffocating, latte-scented tension I’d just left behind. Charlie’s words still prickled under my skin, but for once, I didn’t care. I’d won that round. Hannah and Lily were waiting for me across the street, their faces etched with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness. Why were they nervous? Hannah waved enthusiastically, nearly smacking a passerby in the face. Classic. Time to go back to the pack, I thought, grinning. Back to Graham—BAM. Something hit me. Hard. One second, I was mid-step, feeling victorious. The next, the world spun, tilted, and then— Black.--- Beep. Beep. Beep.My eyelids felt like they’d been glued shut. I groaned, trying to lift my arm, but something tugged at my hand. What the—? I forced my eyes open, blinking against the blinding white light. Sterile walls. A weird plastic tube sticking out of my arm. A machine b

    **GRAHAM**He nodded sagely. "Yep. Left a while ago." My grip on the pen tightened. "And where, exactly, did they go?" Rowand shrugged. "Human world, apparently. Something about Hannah’s friend having a baby." The pen snapped in my hand. Ink splattered across the desk. Rowand blinked. "Uh. You good?" I stood up so fast my chair nearly toppled over. "They what?" Rowand leaned back, holding his hands up. "Hey, don’t shoot the messenger! I just thought you’d want to know—" "Who let them leave?" My voice was dangerously low. Rowand swallowed. "Uh. Ronald?" I stormed out of the office, Rowand scrambling after me. "Graham, wait—" I didn’t wait. The packhouse was bustling as usual—warriors chatting, kids running around, the usual chaos. But right now, all I could focus on was the fact that my mate—well, technically my mate’s human form, who I was still trying to figure out how to handle—had waltzed into the human world without so much as a by your leave. I found Ron

    **GRAHAM** The pack council chamber smelled like old leather and older wolves. The elders sat around the massive oak table, their faces carved from generations of bad decisions and worse tempers. And right in the middle of it all, like a peacock in a den of wolves, stood Kelvin Walker—Alpha of Moonstone, cheater of mates, and current pain in my ass. He’d stormed in unannounced, demanded an audience after accusing me of stealing his mate, and now here we were. "Alpha Graham," Kelvin began, his voice dripping with false diplomacy, "I come before your council to address a grave injustice." I leaned back in my chair, arms crossed. "Get to the point, Kelvin. Some of us have actual work to do." His eye twitched. "You stole my mate." The room went dead silent. Then Elder Fergus, who was roughly as old as dirt and twice as dusty, coughed into his fist. "That’s a serious accusation, Alpha Kelvin. Best tread carefully." Kelvin ignored him, jabbing a finger in my direction. "Zoey

    CHAPTER EIGTHYZOEYThe moment I collided with Charlie in the supermarket, my blood ran cold. Her smile was all teeth—sharp, practiced, and utterly fake. “Zoey,” she cooed, like we were long-lost sisters instead of bitter enemies. “What a surprise.” I forced my fingers to unclench from the bag of chips I was holding. “Charlie.” She tilted her head, eyes flicking over me with that familiar, calculating gleam. “You look… different.” A pause. “Alive. I honestly thought Silvercrest would’ve killed you by now.” I matched her smile, just as hollow. “Disappointed?” She laughed, light and airy, like we were sharing a joke. “Oh, Zoey. Always so dramatic.” Then, without missing a beat, she looped her arm through mine like we were best friends. “Come on. Let’s catch up. There’s a café next door.” I wanted to rip my arm away. I wanted to scream. But Hannah and Lily were already watching us with wide eyes, and the last thing I needed was a scene. So I let her drag me out of the store

I with my legs crossed on the couch, and idly played with a strand of my hair between my fingers while Lily laid beside me, flipping through a book she had no real intention of reading.Across from us, Hannah was sitting on an armchair, with her legs close to her chest and sipping from a cup of tea. She was talking about something, probably about how different life was when she lived as a human, but my mind drifted elsewhere.“…And that’s the thing about human jobs,” Hannah was saying, sounding amused. “If you hate it, you can just quit.”Lily made a funny face. “That’s ridiculous. If you don’t like something, just fight for something better.”“That’s not how it works for humans,” Hannah chuckled. “They have very strict rules that everyone must follow.”I rolled my eyes and chuckled quietly. “Rules are overrated.”Hannah smiled but she didn’t argue with me.

The room was quiet, except for the sound of the clock ticking, but my mind was anything but still.I was thinking about her.She had promised me a kiss, wherever and however I wanted. And now that I had done my part, it was time for her to fulfill it.A slow smirk formed on my lips. It wasn’t like I wanted her kiss or anything. I just didn’t like people owing me. I loved it when people kept to their promise.I wondered how she’d try to get out of it. Would she play coy? Would she challenge me again? Or would she pretend like she didn’t remember? I almost hoped she would, because I had no intention of letting her forget.I could still hear her voice in my head and how she called me a good boy.My grip tightened on the armrest as I fought for control. No one had ever spoken to me like that, like I was the one being tamed, no one had ever dared to.And
